Japan Reports 6.9 Quake off Iwate Coast, Rules Out Tsunami Risk

3 articles · Updated · KOMO News · Jun 25

A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck off Iwate's eastern coast at a depth of about 50 km, with no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
Japan's meteorological agency said the quake posed no tsunami danger, matching the U.S. Geological Survey's 6.9 magnitude estimate.
Northern Japan still saw strong shaking after the morning temblor, with earlier reports putting intensity at upper 6 in parts of Aomori and halting the Tohoku Shinkansen.
The Japan quake came as a separate 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit Venezuela on Wednesday evening, collapsing buildings in Caracas.
